Jesus Kyle man I love the videos But the absolute cheek of you dissing nickelback when you put this fucking headache-inducing skinny-jean-fuckboy emo bullshit in your videos just blows my mind. Legit would listen to nothing else but nickelback for the rest of my life if I never had to hear another shrill, whiny lad that sounds like his nuts are in his throat, bitching about some stupid shit like ugh my eyeliner broke so now I'm so devastated that I have to cut myself to feel emotions again You're young Kyle I was there the first time around When this shit came out and derailed the badass nu metal scene and made everything fucking lame Get rid of it
As an Oregonian, I started nodding when u mentioned the 'cold I can handle..rain I can handle...but the cold and the rainy..that is too much'. nothing hurts so bad as painful cold rain biting into to you. I cannot tell you how many times I have paused for an hour or two(in my tent) to let the rain pass by here in the Cascade Mountains.
I was camping in a tent, working on helicopters in the Horn of Africa, in 2014 during the Ebola Outbreak. Wasn’t 100% sure I’d make it back. I’ve seen a lot of places in the world. More than most can say at 35. But I am jealous of how much more of our country you have seen. I may never get a chance to do a thru hike…Married with kids. I enjoy watching all you guys enjoy doing all this stuff.
I've been watching a lot of your vids lately. Love how you keep it honest. And don't sugarcoat s***! And you don't focus on the latest, newest, and most expensive stuff. One of my top three favorite hiking channels to watch.
@@KyleHatesHiking, I mentioned this before, but if you haven't yet you should check out First Church of the Masochist. He started in Key West at new year's, and he's currently on the AT in Virginia. Heading up into Canada if the border is open.
I climbed Old Spec when I was in high school in 1968. I remember so well how beautiful the view was. I am 71 now and my hiking days are over but it is good to see that it is still beautiful.
Dude, you always have a great soundtrack on your videos. The videos are great, in and of themselves, but the music puts it over the top. My compliments.
When I saw you guys drive away after I yelled at you about parking on the side of the road, I felt so accomplished that I didn't even need to hike that day and decided to pay it forward by giving my parking spot to someone else.
Enjoyed the video. I got out for the first time over the weekend myself. I'm no distance hiker, but I got a good camping trip in over Friday to Sunday. Had to work Memorial Day. Thank you for thanking all who served. I served myself and I love watching these tough hikes. Oh to be young again.
So even when you hike with someone, you’ll split up along the way if you’re going at different paces and just meet at camp or down the trail a ways? I love this idea. I’m always stuck hiking with slower people. To bad I doubt they would be down for me leaving them all behind lol
Couldn’t even imagine how difficult it was coming down E. Baldpate in the rain. Sketchy is an understatement. Dangerous for sure. Long Mtn. was a bear on the east side. West side not as difficult. Quintessential Maine hike for sure. When I was there ran into the guy who has the running record for the loop at about 9 hours. Pretty sick! Thanks for sharing.
I was hiking this same area at the same exact time of year on my thru-hike. Tough section of trail to come off the couch and hike for sure. Thanks for sharing, Flies seemed much worse in 2017!😵🤘🕓
As a Mainer I am ashamed of the needles on the side of the road. Though I am glad you enjoy hiking here. Keep up the great videos! FYI I did Caribou Speckled Mountain by the Wild River that weekend. You were not kidding about cold and rain! We have warmed up since.
I'm digging the narration style with your recent videos. I just watched one of Dan's and for the life of me I can't understand why he has 100k subs and you haven't cracked 20k. Life isn't fair sometimes.
Crazy timing on this video, I climbed the baldpates on Sunday, sucks you had to do them in the rain. Planning to do the whole loop later in the summer. Thanks for sharing
That looks like an awesome loop! At least first couple days looks like some decent weather. Ladder section looked like fun. Blows my mind you did these kind of trips solo at such a young age 👍
Why leave flossy behind?? I can’t fathom hiking with a friend and then hiking ahead of them because they’re a little behind with packing. That’s strange.
That rain and fog looks like our NH48 finish! Thanks for posting this! We are interested in this, but Short n Slow is going to need at least three nights!
Did the Isolation, Davis and Stairs Loop hike the same weekend. We got snow Friday night at elevation. Why filter your water if you're just going to boil it anyway? Glad to see you picked up the trail trash! We need more stewards...
I would like to go there as well. I’d like Maine lobster. I’m only 82 years old. I’m happy. I like your travels. They help since I don’t travel. Thank you!!
Been to Maine many times and it’s rained every single time. Don’t think it statistically gets more rain than any other state, I chalk it up to bad luck.
There were a couple of clips that were so cinematic I’d blurt out “what a cool effect!” If it wasn’t for clips of Flossy draining or cheesy cigars (which had me rolling on the floor laughing) I’d think I was watching a Nat Geo special. Well done, sir.
Bro, you're editing is getting really good! More hike vids!!! :) Hope you two can get out here to the West this summer. TRT, JMT, PCT, Wonderland, Timberland... somethings...
Oh hon. Rain isn't the worst case scenario. You got down the Lichen Slide safely. Worst case scenario is you or Flossie would have had to fire your energency beacon because one or both of you didn't. Great hike. Thankyou for sharing.
Kyle, at 8:32 do you know what kind of moss was on that tree? It looks so much like "Spanish Moss" down south but southern Virginia is it's farthest northern growth zone. Please let me know if you can. Thanks. Oh yeah, and Dan Becker sucks! LOL
I believe it is a lichen species of some sort named Unsea. I’m not positive of which one. Possibly, Unsea longissima, commonly known of old man’s beard. There are several other bearded lichens in Maine though.
@@alankee1065 Thanks for taking the time and effort to respond. With your info I was able to find it online and you are correct! The partial description is "Usnea looks very similar to the plant Spanish moss". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usnea I live in Maine but not from here. I've seen it several times but no one seemed to know the name.
I am looking for a PLB recommendation without a monthly subscription fee and one that has a battery that does not need recharging. For emergency use only. Suggestions? Thanks
Charlie there are lots of different types of filters to purify water from natural sources along trails. Also tablets you can add to water from along the trail such as creeks, natural springs, ponds, rivers ect.
Bro no love lost on the lobster! Im from Maine born and raised and i am NOT a lobster fan at all....ive done the Speck Pond Campsite hike from both sides...Southbound was brutal.......the trout fishing in the pond is phenomenal!
Hangover hike, good times. But have you been buzz hiking? A friend introduced me when she started nipping into her brandy 8km into a 120 km week long hike.
Awesome video. I film most of my trips and one of the reasons I don't post the footage publicly is that my Mom would flip her s*beep*t at some of the things we do :)
“Despite the weather forecast” 😢 I get it the weather man is often times incorrect. No one can predict the deep deep woods When Mother Nature wants to throw a fit, she will. Mother Nature is sooo unpredictable Beautiful but feisty
Nice video. Shame about the weather - should have waited til this weekend, it's gonna be nice here in Maine. Any future plans for you two to do the CDT?
Great vid dude stoked for the summer. What do you think ab rain pants? I do a good amount of backpacking mostly weekend warrior shit but im hitting the Colorado trail July 1st and am wondering if i should pick a pair up.
Beautiful area !! Was that Sunday river ski area right before the obligatory Flossy peeing scene ? Loving the few shots of the altra lone peaks, too. I have some and I love them but how did you guys do on those steep, flat and wet rocks ? They seem a little more unstable on anything super smooth to me.
Subscribe and ring the bell or you will step in moose poop.
Jesus

You're young Kyle
I was there the first time around
When this shit came out and derailed the badass nu metal scene and made everything fucking lame
Get rid of it

I really enjoyed this video of Tom Selleck and Kyle hiking in Maine.

😁🤣
Music stops, pee shot, music plays. Classic, made me chuckle.
Enjoyed this video a lot! Glad to see you both out there!
I'm stoked that you're stoked!

Some trail mix or nuts in hand atop Old Speck tower sometimes a Gray Jay will eat from your hand. None did come last time I was there though

I think the bugs would have sucked a lot more if it had been a tad bit warmer
Thank you for the shout out ..Bravo to your music .. keep on keepin on..

Thanks for filming the sketchy section!
Thanks for watching!
Glade you and Flossy got out. Thanks for the shout for the Holiday....
Enjoyable vid, yeah cold and wet I get it. Thank you for the respect you show to Vets and the fallen.
I love Maine as well and am looking to hike this trail soon. Really enjoyed the video, dude!
Coming up on 20k subs!! nice work!!
Thank you!
You gotta go back soon so you can run into Taylor before she finishes her AT thru hike!
I love Maine too. Happy to live here.
‘Stache looks solid. Really channeling a Ben Stiller vibe there.
Video and music were awesome. Thanks for consistently good content.
Thanks so much for all your comments!
Thanks for mentioning why we have a Memorial Day weekend.
Good vid.
thanks for watching Thomas
Being a patriotic is all good thanks guys
Thanks for throwing in that song by Romancer. I may be late to the party but its a jam
When u start your hike already wearing the Toggs you know it’s gonna suck 😜
😂😂

Nice job capturing what a weekend warrior trip is really like.
Thank you!
Unlike the Gucci Bros
I just found your channel, binged a bunch of videos! Love the vibe. 😊
Binging Kyle and Flossy can be dangerous to your health
@@possumj7307 if my health starts deteriorating, I'll send kyle the bill.
Flossy look like a mix between Ben Stiller in Zoolander with the sunglasses et Ben Stiller in Dodgeball
Oh man telling you mom to not look at the sketchy section priceless. Seriously looks like a nice loop to do I'll have to add it to the list.
Crazy timing on this video, I climbed the baldpates on Sunday, sucks you had to do them in the rain. Planning to do the whole loop later in the summer. Thanks for sharing
Good luck on the loop!
That music has me HYPED
That looks like an awesome loop! At least first couple days looks like some decent weather. Ladder section looked like fun. Blows my mind you did these kind of trips solo at such a young age 👍
Yeah I was probably a little in over my head back then haha
Nice video! Beautiful terrain. Good color commentary on the experience.
I just love this trail wow! Thank u!
Why leave flossy behind?? I can’t fathom hiking with a friend and then hiking ahead of them because they’re a little behind with packing. That’s strange.
Killed it in this vid and the Backpacking Mistakes vid. You almost seem as comfortable on camera as Dan Becker.
Nice video again Kyle. Pretty badass too at the end.
Thanks for all your support
I was in the area the same time! I work at the Outward Bound school just a few miles away from there!
Kyle, I thought this video was excellent. You are getting better and better with each video. I love the content. Keep it up kid.
Thats such a nice compliment George thank you!
Great job on the video, it came out great. Seems like you put a lot of thought into getting the footage and editing it all together.
I’d like to see more of the cringe videos 😂😂
Flossie mustache is top notch 👍🏻
Great scenery and trail. Really cool video Kyle 👊🏻
Great video as always. Thanks for remembering Memorial Day ❤️🇺🇸 We just returned from a trip along the AT into Grayson Highlands Va 👍🏼
Hope it was fun!
Awesome video man! Keep it up! Nice swisher sweet 😂
😂😂 cringe
@@KyleHatesHiking I need to hike with you guys how much do I need to super chat 😂
That rain and fog looks like our NH48 finish! Thanks for posting this! We are interested in this, but Short n Slow is going to need at least three nights!
Its a gorgeous trail, no shame in taking it slow and enjoying it!
Great video, man!
Did the Isolation, Davis and Stairs Loop hike the same weekend. We got snow Friday night at elevation. Why filter your water if you're just going to boil it anyway? Glad to see you picked up the trail trash! We need more stewards...
I would like to go there as well. I’d like Maine lobster. I’m only 82 years old. I’m happy. I like your travels. They help since I don’t travel. Thank you!!
Jocko is the man😎 Great vlog!
yes he is! thanks for watching
That looked like a great loop. Makes me want to go to Maine. Also Lobster is pretty amazing, maybe I just like melted butter.
You gotta get over there!
Finally an actual hiking video
Worth the wait
How can you avoid getting a stress fracture in your foot from too much walking? I’d be afraid I couldn’t walk back out of there
Your not sharing a tent with flossy ?
Some incredible scenery there. We drove thru there area on the way to Nova Scotia
Been to Maine many times and it’s rained every single time. Don’t think it statistically gets more rain than any other state, I chalk it up to bad luck.
did grafting loop last summer, what a great hike! definitely was more enjoyable during 75 degree weather 😁
There were a couple of clips that were so cinematic I’d blurt out “what a cool effect!” If it wasn’t for clips of Flossy draining or cheesy cigars (which had me rolling on the floor laughing) I’d think I was watching a Nat Geo special. Well done, sir.
You two are so funny. What a beautiful hike. Then again, it would be hard to find a trail in Maine that isn't beautiful. Cheers guys!
Thanks for watching Kathy!
I will always smash the like for an immaculate mustache.
Now that's what I'm talking about
Such a fun video! I've looked at doing that trail before. Looks like it would be beautiful in the sunshine!
It definitely would be. Super scenic!!
Bro, you're editing is getting really good! More hike vids!!! :) Hope you two can get out here to the West this summer. TRT, JMT, PCT, Wonderland, Timberland... somethings...
thank you! TRT is the plan
Oh hon. Rain isn't the worst case scenario. You got down the Lichen Slide safely. Worst case scenario is you or Flossie would have had to fire your energency beacon because one or both of you didn't.

Closest I've ever come to hiking in main, is drinking a Baxter sitting in my camp chair here in PA. Looks beautiful though, nice trip. 😁

I dont have any experience with them, sorry!
Ok. Thanks. I assumed that if you were used to hiking in the wilderness that you would have knowledge of plb’s. Sorry. 🤷🏽♀️
Freaking awesome ! Love that area ! Cheers
How do backpackers carry enough water? Do they restock it somehow?
There is an abundance of streams and rivers on this trail!
Charlie there are lots of different types of filters to purify water from natural sources along trails. Also tablets you can add to water from along the trail such as creeks, natural springs, ponds, rivers ect.
Wow that’s some stache!
i didnt see this video when it came out, was the 2nd night campsite, lane or east baldpate?
It was lane
Who’s the band you got playing in the back ground
Bro no love lost on the lobster! Im from Maine born and raised and i am NOT a lobster fan at all....ive done the Speck Pond Campsite hike from both sides...Southbound was brutal.......the trout fishing in the pond is phenomenal!
Are you getting along with the altras then ?

Is this the hike where you left Taylor a message in the trail log book? Those rings you climbed look like the ones that were in her video.
Nope! I left that note in southern Vermont on a hike i didn't film
“Despite the weather forecast” 😢

Cold and rain does blow.
Its the worst
Nice video. Shame about the weather - should have waited til this weekend, it's gonna be nice here in Maine.
Any future plans for you two to do the CDT?
At some point yes!
Can I borrow your time machine that you used to pick up flossie? I just happened to find your channel and love your vids!! Keep it up.
lmao thank you!
Great vid dude stoked for the summer. What do you think ab rain pants? I do a good amount of backpacking mostly weekend warrior shit but im hitting the Colorado trail July 1st and am wondering if i should pick a pair up.
I've never been a fan of them, although they would have been nice on this hike.
At which point did you stop to realise that Flossy was kidnapped by Pennywise?
Beautiful area !! Was that Sunday river ski area right before the obligatory Flossy peeing scene ? Loving the few shots of the altra lone peaks, too. I have some and I love them but how did you guys do on those steep, flat and wet rocks ? They seem a little more unstable on anything super smooth to me.
They felt good!
Another trail to add to my post graduation hiking list.
You still planning to upgrade from the FlyCreek? Also-- awesome vid. Loving the music!
Thanks Ben! Yeah ill upgrade at some point.
I need to know the name of this song in the beginning ..shit sounds jammin ... Nice to see people still pop punking!
Kyle I live in Salt Lake City your friends coming to Utah to hike I can help them to the trail if they fly .
Hats off to those who bust-ass making trails!
Amen
Was the Jaco you were referring to Jaco Pastorius?
No lol I dont know who that is. I was talking about jocko willink
Those chilli pistachios be hitting bro
Nice! How much does this make you miss thru hiking, being back on the AT for a bit?
Haha if the weather was nicer I would have missed it a lot more 😅
Flossy’s stash reminds me of the beastie boys sabotage vid!Too bad about the needles!great vid tho!#nailedit

Good vid. Which Altras do you wear?
Lone Peak 4.5s i got on clearance haha
